Modding Q&A [For Quick Questions and Answers]

[Hatonastick]

I've been trying to do this:
(mission_tpl_entry_add_override_item, "mt_arena_melee_fight", ":i_ep", "itm_hide_boots"),
And yet I've noticed that boots never seem to be overwritten in either arena or tournament fights.  Is it hard coded (well mission_tpl_entry_add_override_item is hard coded I think) to do this?

Not a big deal, just that I need to know so I can shift it to my "can't be done (without WSE)" list.

Okay, I'm using Ikaguia's MP mod as a base for a project of mine, and I need to host a server... a temp server just for me to test, until I can get a dedicated server up. But now....


I can't even host a temp server. I already asked Ikaguia (waiting for a response), but is there any code that disables that?

No need WSE for this. All you have to do is change af_override_all to af_override_everything on arena_melee_fight mission template.

af_override_all            = af_override_horse | af_override_all_but_horse
af_override_everything      = af_override_all | af_override_foot

Did you rename/delete "game_multiplayer_admin_panel" prensentation? Before I knewhow to hide 'start multiplayer game' from main menu, I disabled hosting on my SP mod by deleting the presentation. The effect was just like that, grayed host menu.

No, I tried that reg0 thing because it said in the comment: stores instance id in reg0 - not yet. So I thought maybe they added that but did not removed the 'not yet'. Appeared that they didn't, because I got a invalid instance ID -1.

It most certainly works, and has for a long time - otherwise many major features of PW 4 would totally fail.

The error is most likely caused by my quick editing of your code - reg0 needs to be saved in ":arm_instance" after the first spawn.

I tried the reg0 method before you suggested it, but it really seemed to return -1 as instance_no all the time. Anyways this works too, so I'll just leave it like this.

I will add the global variable and just delete the arm after it ran the init code when close Edit mode, that should suffice right?

The global variable is supposed to disable spawning the extra props unless you are in the correct mission to play it; just add (assign, "$g_mission_spawn_scene_props", 1), to the ti_before_mission_start trigger of the mission templates used to play the mod, and then edit scenes with another native mission or make a new one. You could delete spawned props, but you and anyone else would have to remember to do it every time a scene is loaded, which would probably get tiresome.

Aye, that's true, thanks.

I didn't, but Ikaguia had it set up through modmerger and had it completely separate from everything else...maybe I should try to set it back up...but I don't want to trash what he did though

Is it possible to have dialogues with bots in multiplayer?

I've done it by mistake before, so I'm sure it is. Lol

 

[Arch3r]

How did you do it?

Okay, I found another *ahem* small bug... I can go to the admin panel and all that, and I can start the round, but once I get to the "Select Faction" page, I can't continue. I am using the standard 1.143 MS without anything original being changed. I'm just adding scripts....any ideas?

I keep getting a Runtime error while trying to run the game with another map. It would be greatly appreciated if you can help me run this on any other mod:

http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,119318.0.html (v.2.04)

P.S: That one is for vanilla M&B, but I wanna run it on Warband.
And the rgl_log.txt, if helps.

Okay, another question (I'm full of them lately )

I set up a sceneprop (gold ore from the FPW Modder's Resource, but with my own code) to drop one small chunk of gold per hit, but for some reason it's spawning the whole item. To more easily describe the problem....here's the code.

check_gold_ore_spawn = (
    ti_on_init_scene_prop,
    [
	(store_trigger_param_1, ":instance"),
	(this_or_next|multiplayer_is_dedicated_server), 
	(this_or_next|multiplayer_is_server),
	(neg|game_in_multiplayer_mode),
	(scene_prop_set_hit_points, ":instance", 99999),
	])
	
check_gold_ore_hit = (
    ti_on_scene_prop_hit,
	[
      (store_trigger_param_1, ":instance_id"),
	  
		(multiplayer_send_int_to_server,multiplayer_event_sound_made_by_player,"snd_hit_metal_metal"),
        (particle_system_burst, "psys_dummy_smoke", pos1, 3),
        (particle_system_burst, "psys_fire_sparks_1", pos1, 10),  
      (multiplayer_is_server),
      (try_begin),
        (prop_instance_get_position, pos1, ":instance_id"),
        (position_move_z,pos1,-5),
        (set_spawn_position, pos1),
        (spawn_item, "itm_gold_chunk"),
      (try_end),		
	])

Now, it works, but itm_gold_chunk has a max ammo of 24, so when I spawn the item, it spawns one item with 24 gold chunks. How would I make it so that only one spawns, but so that you can pick up as many as 20-30?

 

[Somebody]

Use agent_set_ammo in a ti_on_item_picked_up trigger.
You should probably use some player slot value to store it rather than take up an item slot with it.

 

[pjm2493]

I'm trying to put to the player inventory (in multiplayer) some items(armour, weapons) that I pass through MYSQL / send_message_to_url.

It return 0, when it will return the correct ID.

You are most likely setting slots on the server and then expecting to read them on player clients: slots are not transferred that way, so you would need to send network messages to the client with that information.

Thanks for that information, but, you can give me an idea to do that, please? I'm really tyred with this problem, I have trying to make it work literally for hours and hours.

However, I want to tell you what I want to do. I'm getting information of a MYSQL database throught game_receive_url and send_message_url etc, and then setting the information to a player slot.

Well, I just want to show the weapons / armour in the items list using the player slots, but I can't because it seems like the CLIENT information can't be changed during the game (I have tested for hours, without any success), just before.

So, I have done with spawn_item and some changes to give the items with the player slots to the player when they spawn to the game, but I can't put the items to the player item list, so they can't see them.

I hope somebody or you can help me , please.


THANKS for all master.

Is there a bug with the whole spawn_scene_prop operation?

I had used this code to set a new prop down that was loaded, but it crashed every time. Then I fixed that crashing bug, and then made it so that once you used the loaded prop, it spawned the unloaded prop (so that I didn't have to use instances, but still make the cannon load, fire, etc). And then that crashed...

prop_artillery_cannon_destroyed = (
    ti_on_scene_prop_destroy,
	[
		(store_trigger_param_1, ":instance"),
		
		(play_sound, "snd_dummy_destroyed"),
		
		(prop_instance_get_position, pos1, ":instance"),
		
		(particle_system_burst, "psys_dummy_smoke", pos1, 15),
        (particle_system_burst, "psys_dummy_straw", pos1, 25),
		
		(try_begin),
	(this_or_next|multiplayer_is_dedicated_server), 
	(this_or_next|multiplayer_is_server),
	(neg|game_in_multiplayer_mode),
		  (set_spawn_position, pos1),
		  (spawn_scene_prop, "spr_a_cannon_3lb_destroyed"),
		
		  (position_set_z, pos1, -1200),
		  (prop_instance_animate_to_position, ":instance", pos1, 4),
		(try_end),
	])

 

[Vornne]

	(this_or_next|multiplayer_is_dedicated_server), 
	(this_or_next|multiplayer_is_server),
	(neg|game_in_multiplayer_mode),
	(scene_prop_set_hit_points, ":instance", 99999),

Firstly, using both multiplayer_is_dedicated_server and multiplayer_is_server is pointless: the first one is only a more restricted version of the second, so just use multiplayer_is_server; I wouldn't bother with neg|game_in_multiplayer_mode, as the other triggers probably aren't going to work properly in single player anyway; and in any case you don't want to run this only on the server - the clients need to set the initial hit points to the same value to have the visual bar indicate correctly.

		(multiplayer_send_int_to_server,multiplayer_event_sound_made_by_player,"snd_hit_metal_metal"),

I've probably told you before, but this is a bad design, allowing any player to play any sound for all players whenever they a want with a little bit of module system tweaking; in this case all clients will send a message to the server asking it to play a sound at the location of their agent, which is most likely not what you want: get the agent id that hit the prop from pos2 as I showed a few posts back, and then either use agent_play_sound inside a neg|multiplayer_is_server block, or put it inside a multiplayer_is_server one if you want to have a different sound depending on some checks done - sounds are automatically played on clients when the operation is run on the server.

        (particle_system_burst, "psys_dummy_smoke", pos1, 3),
        (particle_system_burst, "psys_fire_sparks_1", pos1, 10), 

These should either be only run on the server or only run on the clients, as when run on the server the clients display it automatically - the same as agent_play_sound.

        (spawn_item, "itm_gold_chunk"),

As Somebody said, you could set a slot and then set the ammo from it in the pick up trigger, but you need to use a scene prop slot: spawned items have an associated scene prop for that particular instance, but item slots are global for that type. The item scene prop instance id is stored in reg0 after spawn_item, so something like this:

(spawn_item, "itm_gold_chunk"),
(scene_prop_set_slot, reg0, slot_scene_prop_item_ammo, 1),

(ti_on_item_picked_up, 0, 0, [],
 [(store_trigger_param_1, ":agent_id"),
  (store_trigger_param_2, ":item_id"),
  (store_trigger_param_3, ":instance_id"),

  (try_begin),
    (eq, ":item_id", "itm_gold_chunk"),
    (scene_prop_get_slot, ":ammo", ":instance_id", slot_scene_prop_item_ammo),
    # loop over equip slots using agent_get_ammo_for_slot counting the ammo of any equipped itm_gold_chunk, as agent_get_ammo is almost totally useless
    # I forget if the picked up item is included at this stage, so you'd have to test to find out, then figure out how to get the correct total ammo value
    (agent_set_ammo, ":agent_id", "itm_gold_chunk", ":total_ammo"),

This method was not possible at all until recent versions - it relies on new operations, triggers, and bug fixes in 1.134 and 1.142, which explains why other mods haven't done it this way; when using ammo and throwing weapons for valuable resources you need to be very careful to test ammo in all circumstances, otherwise various glitches and exploits will be possible.

Thanks for that information, but, you can give me an idea to do that, please? I'm really tyred with this problem, I have trying to make it work literally for hours and hours.

Well, I just want to show the weapons / armour in the items list using the player slots, but I can't because it seems like the CLIENT information can't be changed during the game (I have tested for hours, without any success), just before.

Sorry, if you don't know what "send network messages to the client with that information" (values in the slots) means, designing a mod like that is probably too difficult, requiring me to basically write the code for you, which I don't have time for - I suggest starting with easier things to gain experience. If you really want to try, there are guides explaining how to send network messages in the unnoficial tutorials board; client slots can be changed, but only from scripts running on that client, not the server.

I had used this code to set a new prop down that was loaded, but it crashed every time. Then I fixed that crashing bug, and then made it so that once you used the loaded prop, it spawned the unloaded prop (so that I didn't have to use instances, but still make the cannon load, fire, etc). And then that crashed...

Can't tell anything from the code you posted...

Are the mesh references correct? I think I once had a wrong collision mesh reference in module_scene_prop that caused a crash. Not sure though.

Hey everyone

I have what is probably an easy question.

How do I change the name of a proficiency as it shows up throughout the game?

I am wanting to split pistols and muskets into the "Firearms" and "Crossbow" proficiencies, such as on the character creation/skill raising screen. I checked the module_presentation, module_scripts, module_game_menus and module_strings to look for any crossbow or $crossbow sorts of variables or names and just found nothing. Help?

Thanks, I appreciate it.
